Impact Founder Circle
A dedicated peer group for impact founders balancing mission against runway.
You don't have to carry it alone. Join 10–12 peers who know what you're carrying, meeting 6 times a year to work through the things you cannot take anywhere else.
Twice the Hurdle. Twice the Fulfillment.
Running a startup is hard. Running one that has to do well in order to do good adds a second set of decisions: mission against runway, growth against staying true to why you started. The space is firewalled: what is said in the circle stays in the circle.
Five pillars that make the Impact Founder Circle different.
By & For Impact Founders
A tight-knit group facing the same dual-bottom-line challenges.
Practical Setup
6 sessions a year in Amsterdam, 2.5 hours each, ending with a shared dinner.
Learn & Share
Real cases structured around research-backed founder resilience themes.
Accountability for Growth
Dedicated peer accountability partners to keep you on track.
Absolute Privacy
Strict investor firewall. Pure psychological safety.
Both of us have sat in the founder seat ourselves.
We keep the room safe and structured, so the time goes into your cases rather than small talk.
